AI Splits Asian Markets into Winners and Losers
Asian stock markets experienced sharp volatility during the first half of 2026 due to tensions in the Middle East and a surge in artificial intelligence. Gains were mainly concentrated in South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. Shares of chip manufacturing companies, such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and TSMC, which are closely linked to the AI sector, led to widespread disruptions and contributed to trading suspensions to curb volatility. Meanwhile, the Chinese markets showed mixed results, with the ChiNext Index rising by 36%, while the Hang Seng Tech Index declined by 19%. Outlooks vary regarding the sustainability of this performance, with warnings that high valuations could lead to a market correction.
